ARM: 7729/1: vfp: ensure VFP_arch is non-zero when VFP is not supported
Commit d3f79584a8b5 ("ARM: cleanup undefined instruction entry code")
improved the register scheduling when handling undefined instructions.
A side effect of this is that r5 is now used as a temporary, whilst the
VFP probing code relies on r5 containing a non-zero value when VFP is
not supported.
This patch fixes the VFP detection code so that we don't rely on the
contents of r5. Without this patch, Linux dies loudly on CPUs without
VFP support.
